Today, PicnicHealth released a preprint on LLMD, its state of the art medical large language model (LLM). LLMD achieves human-level accuracy when extracting clinical insights from medical records, and outperforms the most powerful and general and industry-specific LLMs. This model highlights how AI can realize the potential of real-world data (RWD) and offers life science companies a more efficient, powerful way to gain valuable clinical insights.

PicnicHealth announces the launch of its Clinical Services, featuring a Virtual Clinic for patients and a Virtual Site for life sciences companies. These services, which are supported by a team of PicnicHealth’s in-house providers, have been designed to enhance care management for patients and drive more efficient observational research for life sciences companies. This launch marks a major step in the company’s mission to simplify healthcare for everyone.

For the past decade, PicnicHealth has been dedicated to giving you control of your health by providing access to your complete medical records. We’ve had the privilege of working with tens of thousands of patients, most of whom live with chronic diseases, and through countless conversations, one thing has become crystal clear: managing complex care journeys is a huge challenge. Between juggling multiple specialists and keeping track of different treatment plans, it’s easy to feel both overwhelmed and that no single doctor sees the full picture.

Today, PicnicHealth, a company dedicated to simplifying observational research, announces the appointment of Jennifer Stacey as Chief Delivery Officer. In this role, Stacey will oversee the end-to-end delivery of observational studies conducted on the PicnicHealth platform to accelerate customer success and drive innovation in the healthcare industry.

Today, PicnicHealth announces PicnicAI, the groundbreaking technology that unlocks the Unified Patient Record. PicnicAI collects medical records from everywhere in the U.S. and transforms them into meaningful data for patients and researchers. It is powered by a proprietary, industry-leading LLM that outperforms GPT-4 and healthcare industry-specific models in accuracy, efficiency, and cost on tasks that involve structuring or understanding medical records. ‍

PicnicHealth’s AI strategy is focused on building personal medical AI that helps patients get better care and, through our research-focused products, eventually better therapeutic options. To do this, our approach to large language model (LLM) development introduces a distinctive dimension – we bring generalized medical knowledge together with a detailed understanding of a patient’s own medical journey by interpreting their records.

Real-world medical records quickly break common assumptions used to develop AI techniques in academic settings, and it’s these real-world issues that make our job difficult and interesting. They’re also the reason that “pretty good on a benchmark” has never translated into a great solution for the tasks we train on.

The first of November has sort of always been the mental marker for me to “up my game” for the Holiday Season. Pumpkin lattes and all things Gourd related are being shoved down our throats. I used to like Pumpkin Spice but now I think it’s safe to say the Pumpkin Craze has gone a bit overboard. Nevertheless I still have love for those that get suckered into the few months of insane commercialism and Seasonal Trends.

We are excited to announce the launch of PicnicStudies! With this new solution, run faster and more efficient observational studies from end-to-end.

I strongly believe that age is just a number.There was a point in my cancer journey when I bargained with God. I asked him why he allowed me to get diagnosed in my twenties and wished he could have changed the timing to at least my forties or fifties.

What’s the most favorite thing about yourself? My answer used to be my thick hair. It was organically long, healthy, and shiny. I used to follow the Asian stereotype where nothing about my body was #thiccccc, except my hair.
